Very informative. Transport was nice, guys helping were courteous, and the guy on the boat was very knowledgeable about the Bioluminescent bay. You can tell he loves the job. Great time and well worth it. Highly recommended.
It was great. The driver that took us to the boat was great. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The night was perfect. The sky and the water were competing for attention with their beauty.
